About:
Hulda Guzmán’s (b. 1984, Dominican Republic) energetic paintings approach portraiture and interior scenes with an experimental eye for technique and depiction. She studied visual arts and illustration at Altos de Chavón School of Design in the Dominican Republic, and she has a degree in visual arts from the National School of Visual Arts, Mexico, with a speciality in photography and mural painting.(textDavidoff Art Iniative)
Dynamic Relaxation, 2015.
Hulda Guzmán’s paintings are powerful, to say the least. Her point of view ¬ that of a Caribbean “Peeping tom” makes every painting look like a secret, a scene that was stolen from the characters or spaces she represents. None of the works reveal the presence of the artist, rather, it looks as if she hid herself behind the bushes to spy on moments that aren’t hers, but she appropriates them and makes them tangible and true thanks to the realistic power of her style.( text Art Viewer, August 2015)
Affinités électives, 2015.
She has participated in individual and group exhibitions in Santo Domingo, Miami, New York, Seoul, Guatemala, and Los Angeles; most recently in solo exhibitions at VOLTA NY in March and at Galería Machete (Mexico City) in June. Her works can be found in the permanent collections of Centro León Jimenes (Santiago); Fundación Casa Cortés (Viejo San Juan, Puerto Rico); Antonio Murzi Colleciton (Panama); and in private collections in the Dominican Republic, China, Spain, France, Italy, and the United States.
